What is the difference between a caftan and a takchita?

The caftan is a one-piece dress; the takchita is made of an under-dress and an open over-dress, held by a belt. The takchita is the outfit for grand occasions.

Do you have Algerian and Turkish outfits, not only Moroccan?

Yes: karakous, Kabyle dresses, henna and Turkish evening dresses have their own pages, and everything is tried on at the same hub.
